A new method for the preparation of gelatin nanolayer: a possible approach to the in situ consolidation of damaged gelatin photographic emulsions

Maha Ahmed Ali*, Mona Fouad Ali, Enrico Ciliberto, Enrico Greco, Domenico Mello, Ezio Viscuso  Applied Physics A volume 122:552 (2016) DOI: 10.1007/s00339-016-0054-3 Abstract: A major objective of all conservation treatments is to increase the physical and chemical stability of the objects being treated. Given that photographic gelatin emulsions…

A new preparation of doped photocatalytic TiO2 anatase nanoparticles: a preliminary study for the removal of pollutants in confined museum areas

Enrico Greco*, Enrico Ciliberto, Antonio M. E. Cirino, Donatella Capitani, Valeria Di Tullio Applied Physics A volume 122:530 (2016) DOI: 10.1007/s00339-016-0057-0 Abstract: The use of nanotechnology in conservation is a relatively new concept. Usually, classical cleanup methods take into account the use of other chemicals: On the…
